EARLY MONDAY WEIGH IN... AGAIN UGH!

Its nice to see you back Marge... I started back last week posting here.. and it has really helped me this week Yesterday I did attend 2 different parties.. a house warming in the afternoon, and  my grandaughters 10th birthday last nite. So I messed up alittle but besides that I had a great week Beginning Weight 473 Surgery weight 417 Lowest weight 181 Last week 210  agggghhhh This week 201.5 I knew alot of my weight gain was water, since I hadn't been taking my water pill for quite awhile I am determined to get back to my Lowest weight. Have an awesome week. Lynn

Marge, glad to hear from you, we miss you when you are busy out there in the country.  If I were nearby, I'd be happy to work the skill saw with you, it sounds like fun.  Of course, I don't want to be responsible for any wonky cuts I might make in your nice new flooring!  I had a good weekend.  Spent ALL day Saturday shopping, it was fun.  I don't usually like shopping, but I did on Saturday.  My sister and I ran errands yesterday, including a trip up to the Tree Farm (for locals who post here, it's the place with the goofy jingle "Take 1-25 to exit 235, then five miles west to the Tree Farm").  What they neglected to mention in their jingle is that you need to have an eagle eye once you get five miles west, because their signage is quite small.  We almost missed it.  We walked around looking at foliage for awhile, my sister wants to get a couple of trees for the yard and she wasn't sure what she wanted.  I gravitated toward the oak, maple, and weeping willow trees, but she wants something flowery like a flowering crab.  I had no idea foliage is so expensive, even the twigs we looked at were $100 each. We also had to stop at Costco so she could get two sheet cakes for a celebration at work.  I was dying to just dive into the cake face first and eat until dead.  I did not.  I already made a mistake finding out I can eat bread (and struggle now) so I don't want to even try anything sugared. My weight loss is pretty good this week, I don't know why.  Maybe I sent my 6 lbs to the Springs so my pal PJ could tend it for a few days.   Please feel free to keep it in the Springs, I don't want it back! Beginning weight: 530 lb Surgery weight: 407 lb Last week: 222 lb This week: 216 lb Kix

Morning Marge, Woohoo to you on the two piece! that's hot! You are one brave mama!!! but then again, if i looked like you, i'd be wearing one too...lol i was in the hospital last week and gained 5 crap-tastic lbs but  have managed to take them back off and hold onto the 4 additional ones i had lost so i guess it is a bonus... Beginning Weight- 303 Surgery Weight- 295 2 Weeks ago- 177 This Week- 173 4 lb loss have a good week everyone ~lori

Marge,  You are my energy HERO! lol  I worked in my house a little this week too but mostly we stayed outside as much as possible and raked up all the "crap"  that shows when the snow melts.   I love spring and this year it is extra special!  Here's my week  Highest =390 Preop=346 last week=248.8 This week=245.5 -3.3 Hugz  Estelle

Well I am going to start posting her although my scale is a little fishy I will be getting a new one but I will post what I have at the doctors if that is ok highest weight 436 Before surgery 401.8 Today looks like 400

Diana, Nice to see you on the losers Bench! :)    I'm glad your posting.  Estelle

Yay, most everyone looks to have lost weight this week! I'm not going to call this my official weigh in because I played hookey from work today to catch up on some papers that I need to write and statistics is kicking my butt and final exam is this weekend and I have a take home test.  So I didn't go to the gym this morning either. Surgery weight  371 last week 291.5 This week 290 weight lost 1.5 Total weight lost 81 pounds I'll weigh again in the morning at the gym and get and official weigh in ... not a weigh in at the end of the day.

I attended my monthly WLS support group meeting tonight.  What a joke!  Our regular facilitator wasn't there, so we had the WLS shrink running the group.  He really didn't know what he was doing, and if we brought up emotional issues, we were briefly psychoanalyzed.  I told the story about the woman at the grocery store who commented on my huge thighs, and next thing I know, I'm being told I must have had a difficult childhood.  I felt like saying, "You know, sometimes stuff chaps my azz just because -- not everything has a deeply rooted meaning."  Anyway, the good part about the meeting is that my weight is lower than I posted this morning, so I wanted to amend my morning weigh-in: Beginning weight: 530 lb Surgery weight: 407 lb Last week: 222 lb This week: 214.8 lb Kix

Posting a little late.  Was at the monthly Bari support group meeting last night.  I had a good week with food but not good with exercise.  Last night's guest speaker was a PT and the whole topic was exercise.  I felt a bit convicted.  Although to be fair to myself, I hurt my back last week on the recumb bike (don't ask how) and had such pain down my hip and leg I could barely walk.  Not conducive to exercise.  My husband did an hour massage with aspercreme after a few days and then I had wrecked my left (already problematic shoulder) from sleeping exclusively on my left side because I hadn't been able to sleep on my right side cuz of the hip.  Couldn't move my left arm in any direction.  ALMOST took some of the pain medication that they sent me home from the hospital with that I didn't take then cuz I didn't need it post op.  Yikes.  TMI.  Anyway, I guess I made a long story even longer...body parts are now healed enough that I need to get back on track.  I believe my lack of movement contributed to my lack of scale activity and I also like how my body feels when I'm exercising.  And since I read while on the treadmill and ex bike, I'm also behind on my reading.
